Just watched a documentary about the civil war by Ken Burns
LEBANON, Ohio — President Trump praised the Confederate general Robert E. Lee while asking African American voters to “honor us” by voting for him at an Ohio rally that featured an unexpected and provocative monologue on America’s Civil War history.
Minutes earlier, Trump had hailed African American unemployment numbers and asked black voters to “honor us” by voting Republican in November. “Get away from the Democrats,” he told them. “Think of it: We have the best numbers in history. … I think we’re going to get the African American vote, and it’s true.” He also celebrated hip-hop artist Kanye West’s visit to the Oval Office on Thursday, adding: “What he did was pretty amazing.”

dudes really in here talkin bout 'b-but he WAS a great general' as if that shyt is relevant at all
There are things you just do not say.Robert E. Lee is overrated as a general. His successes were generally unimportant in the grand scheme of the war, involved large losses in manpower which the Confederacy couldn’t afford to replace, and came mostly against the worst Union generals put against him. The minute Lee had to go up against a general who knew what he was doing, like Ulysses Grant, he lost far more often than he won. His reputation today is a myth born of pro-Confederate, Lost Cause propaganda. Not to mention, he turned against his country to join the side of the people wanting to maintain slavery, so fukk him and anyone who glorifies him. Lee was a loser.


Good thing you are here to never let us forget......while bootlicking folks that hate you. Sanctimonious bytch in you.
the man went to war to ensure that black people would continue to be enslaved if he won. i never understood this bullshyt narrative that Lee was a good guy
